Re: law suit
There is no form. You must draft your own pleadings from start to finish, which is why you really need an attorney. However, if you are filing a small claim (under $3,000.00 in Louisiana), there is a form and you can make it through without a lawyer. For small claims, just go down to the Justice of the Peace in your jurisdiction and they will give you a form that you can hand write your complaint on. That form is only good for small claims, however.
